Rules Are Meant To Be "Broken"

[02moonpelt02]

Izaray
Stand up straight, smile, and show some respect because you are in my presence and everything revolves around me

"Sit right there while we hunt, I don't want anything happening to you." The female lion cub rolled her eyes, flicking her ears with irritation. "I mean it, Izaray! You are my only cub at the moment and I m not ready to lose you. Stay safe," the huntress bent down to lick the cub's head, causing her golden dappled fur to become ruffled. "Mom! You're messing up my fur!" she complained, pressing her paw against the locks pointedly. The huntress smiled tightly. "Just stay here, Ill be back as soon as I'm dont hunting," she repeated before bounding towards the other lionesses who were waiting for her. Izaray watched her mother disappear into the long grassand twitched her ears, noticing how alone she was for the first time. This was one of the first times her mother had left her in hiding while she went hunting. When she had asked if she could stay with her father since she couldn't watch her hunting, but she said that Ezhno had better things to do than babysit. Now she looked at her mother's pawsteps before she picked herself up and started running along the trail of pawprints left by the lionesses. She could still smell Anabi's familiar smell and tried to ignore the other scents that were fainter and unfamiliar next to the warm scents of her pride. She let the scents was over her until they were her only focus and her concentration was not on what other creatures would be crossing her path. This could have been the reason why she didn't notcice the unfamiliar feline standing in her path until she ran into the cat, falling onto her back while doing so. She leaped up with a small growl and bared her teeth. "Watch it, you idiot!" she yelled shaking the dust from her fur before looking up at the cat who had knocked her down.

OOC//: check out the cubs profile here and tell me if you're okay with it.

.:Ackecheta:.
To have my respect, one must earn it.

Ackecheta watched as the lioness made her way towards him, unfocused and unaware of his presence. His body remained rigid as her impact knocked herself to the ground. The comment that came from her lips caused a smirk to play across the males face. "I think it is you who is the idiot who must watch it. I've been standing here, and you were the one to crash into me." he spoke in a calm tone, eyes emotionless as he stood there. Moments before, many lioness' had passed by, unnoticing him. A pride was nearby, and with hope, it may be the one who calls his name.

..:: Hallow and Falz::..
.....let the rain fall down.....

A lioness sat hunkered down as a pride sauntered past her hidding place. Her paws rapped around a small seven month old cub. The young male cub snugled against her chest. The two hovered in the grass wile they waited for the pride to pass. "Mother! Mother!" the male cub whispered "look!" he pointed one of his paws toward two cubs. Hallow, his mother blinked. "I dont know, Falz" she murmured, blinking. "Come on, mother" Falz whinned. Hallow sighed and released her cub. "ok, but stay away from the pride! Dont let anyone but those cubs se you" Hallow instructed. "Yes, ma'am" Falz said brightly, sneaking off into the brush. He padded up toward the two cubs, staying as quite as possible. He hunkered down in the thick brush to watch.

[Bhu]

Annoyance crossed the sarcastic cubs white face. Without turning away from the female to look, he spoke in a rather cold voice. "Whomever lays hidden, come out and show yourself. I am in no mood for stalkers." he still remained focused on the sharped tongued female, obviously not caring the one watching could be so much larger then himself. Ackecheta, one would say, was overly confident, and often would brag of defeating tigers (which of course was an exaggeration).

[02moonpelt02]

OOC: I agree, Bhu. This should be interesting.

Izaray spread her legs apart and narrowed her firey eyes at the white cub. "Do you know who I am? Obviously not, since no one would dare talk to me like that in my pride! You're lucky my father isn't here, he would shred you to pieces for talking to me like that!" she hissed, stepping closer to him until their noses were almost touching. She could smell the new creature close by, lion by the smell of it, and young because of how she would hear the breeze running over it's soft fur. She whipped in the direction of the cub and growled. "Show yourself, coward!" she hissed, baring her teeth with an irritated swish of her tail.

[Bhu]

Ackecheta rolled his chocolate orbs. "I know perfectly well who you are." he snapped. "You're one of those snobby, spoiled princess types who get everything served to them on smoothed down bison bones. You're the type who could never survive one your own." his voice was almost daring. A teenish smirked crossed his face at that point, along with one raised 'eyebrow'. "Even if I were apart of your pride, I'd speak as I desire to you and your most likely pathetic father."

Eyes then traveled back to where he had directed his voice a moment before. The young cat was still hidden, and the white males sarcastic playfulness went away. "You don't come out real quick, and I will show you what I am capable of." he snorted. He had strength sure, but his personal favorite weapon was his cunning. That was how he had killed his full grown parents.

[drakel]

Falz blinked as he sliped out of the thick brush. "I apologize." he murmured blinking. "But I am not a coward. Im just smart enough to not walk right up to unkown lions. be they cubs or not" he murmured. He blinked his brown eyes. Flicking his brown furred tail tip.

Hallow's eyes narrowed as she watched. Her claws retracted and tore at the ground. She looked about. The pride was still walking. The lioness crept forward a few paces, lying on her belly. Hallow watched the cubs closly.

[Bhu]

Ackecheta got to his paws, since he had sat once the female had crashed into him. He eyed the newcomer, listening to the words. He took a dominant step forward, tail and head high. Even at the young age, he held that same male instinct to show dominance over other males. "Rule number one when in my presence; never apologize. An apology is from the weak to the strong, and if one wishes to be around me, they have to be one of the strong." he informed, claws retracting and then extending over and over. "And with that attitude, you'll get yourself killed. A lion who has the soul to kill will admire the fact that a cub is brave against them. Always be the first to approach. If a strong willed lion is to catch you sneaking about and spying, that will be enough reason for him to kill." He then took one silent bound and came nose to nose with the male. "Now, give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you. All you are to me is competition over females and land." his eyes held fire and his voice was venom.

[drakel]

"Kill me?" falz snorted. "Go ahead and try. I may not be the strongest or the biggest, but I take pride in bieng able to face the isiots who only know how to kill." Falz growled. "I may be young but me and my mum are both smart enough to find other ways to find our way through life without becoming as bad as the murder apes" he hissed.

Hallow watched and listened. She felt her heart freeze over when th eyoung cub spoke of killing. Her claws ripped into the ground. But than pride filled her normaly black heart as she listened to ehr brave little cub's words. But she prepared herself. The idiots of the world hated having there noses shoved into the bad deeds.

[Bhu]

Ackecheta rolled his orbs in embarressment for the cub. "Kid, I'm a cub. I can't relay on my strength against anything. Therefore, my brain is how I fight." he then flicked his tail towards the female. Judging by how quick her temper was to flare, and how she had threatened him with her father, he guessed she may side with him during this little squabble. "And face it, there's two of us. Not to mention this one has a dad somewhere nearby that'll squish you into the dirt." his eyes detached from the male, scanning the lands. He had added that last part, knowing this cub had an adult nearby. He wanted the adult to be aware they had someone who could take her down as well.

[02moonpelt02]

Irritation and fury rose up inside of her as she listened to the other cub's words, flexing her claws and narrowing her amber eyes. She resisted the urge to stick her toungue out at him before she quickly put it, "You don't even know me, so you can't tell me what I am! I can survive on my own, I'm just not stupid enough to try! Why would I when I've already got a Pride that gives me everything I want, when I want it, just because I said so? And I am not snobby, but it helps to see that you actually do have a brain, seeing as you relized how important I am." She closed her eyes, sat down and put hr nose in the air before turning her head until her profile could be seen. "Everyone in my Pride fears me as much as they do my father," she finished, keeping her ears pricked as she listened to the new male cub and the white one quarrel. She finally opened her eyes, feeling eyes burn into her pelt. She narrowed her eyes at the white cub but nodded, taking note to the weakness in the other cub. FInally, something clicked in her mind about these fellow lions. Why were they alone? "So where are your parents? Did they abandon you? I wouldn't blame them, seeing how pathetic you are," she hissed at them both, but still glaring at the white cub.

[drakel]

Falz pretty much completly ignored both of the other cubs somewhat annoying words. He just flicked his ears at the lionness' last words. "I dont have a father. My mother is strong enough to fight off every male that threatens us" he mewed proudly smiling as the brush behind him parted.

Hallow padded out of the brush, her scared tawny pelt glinted in the sun. "Falz, why do you always insist on speaking to the rudest cubs in the area?" she sighed, flciking her brown eyes across the two cubs. Hallow flicked her tail. Her icy gaze whipped across the pride. "Little child" she murmured at the lioness. "Perhapse you ahould catch up to you pride. They may worry for you" she mewed, though her words were true her voice was ice cold and bitter. As it always was. She stared down at the white cub. "Humph. Whoever lost you, lost a true fighter" she murmured deep in thought. "Make sure you dont turn thoes claws on thoes whom could save you, pure on" Hallow grunted. Circling Hallow sat down next to her cub.

"Mother? Why are we staying away from the pride?" Falz asked. Hallow let her ears press against her skull. "Because Falz, as I said hundreds of times-" "Never trust any cat whome is less a friend than foe" Falz finished the confusing words. "But I dont get what that means mother..." Hallow sighed, digging her claws into the ground. "It means, you must never fully trust anyone. You'll only get hurt" Hallow grunted. Falz blinked up at her his inoccent eyes worried. "Like what hapned to you, mama?" he murmured. "Exactly" the lioness hissed bitterly.

[Bhu]

Ackecheta cocked his head at the lioness cub, a cruel smirk on his face. "Then I assure you, your father is one pathetic fool." he laughed. "If everyone fears you as much as they fear him, then they don't fear him very much." Turning his attention back to the male cub. After he saw the adult lioness, he finally responded to the males words. "That could not defeat most males." he chuckled coldly, a quiet voice, while he rolled his eyes once more.

Then the words of him being a true fighter came through and he smiled a smug smile. "I don't need saving." he laughed boldly. "I outsmarted both my parents, causing their demise. If I could kill two full grown lions, then I don't think I need some foolish adult trailing my tail." his tail tip twitched at that.

"Now you're speaking my language." he remarked as the female stated not to trust anyone. "No one deserves trust from another. Most can't even keep their own pelts on their bodies, so why should we trust them with ours?" his cruel smile never left his maw as he spoke. Even as he directed his voice towards the adult lioness and her cub, he found himself watching the lioness cub beside him out the corner of his eye. His paws had prickled strangely when they first met, and now they were on fire.

[02moonpelt02]

Izaray looked at the adult lioness with narrowed eyes, noticing how unhealthy and gangly she looked next to the members in her pride. She "psh"-ed and flicked her tail tip, starting to wash a paw as if she owned the world. She listened to the lioness, puffing out her chest fur against a cold wind that had grown stronger since her 'adventure' had begun. "Right, like you could kill two fully grown and trained felines. Psh, whatever," Izaray said, rolling her eyes defiantly.

Staying indifferent to the matters around her, she ignored the fact that the other lioness had told her to leave in a way. 'I can take care of myself, thank you very much!' she thought, flicking her ears. She could now feel eyes on her pelt and she turned to see the white cub staring at her. "What are you looking at, nimrod?" she said bitterly, wrinkling her nose as if she smelled something sour.

[Bhu]

The tom cocked his eyes at her questioning what he was looking at. "Nothing much." he grumbled in a teasing tone. Once that said, he looked back to the lioness and her cub, waiting for a responce from them.
